When I lived in San Marcos, just down the road from Austin, I had no cheap options for taking CC courses because the Austin Community College District only covered the rural areas of Hays County. Have you looked into the Digital Higher Education Consortium of Texas? It used to be the Virtual College of Texas. You pay your local community college's rate, but you can take online courses at other partner colleges.

Edit: It looks like Digitex is defunct now, but there still may be course sharing.
This page has contact information for each community college's DigiTex coordinator.

I tried looking at it a while ago and couldn't find anything, so I figured it was gone. Heh.
I'm literally like two miles outside of the boundaries for Lone Star College. Further, Houston Community College has a campus out here in Katy, and because of the infinite wisdom of the folks in Katy, they decided to not become a part of the district because of taxation. So, even though there's a branch campus here 45 seconds down the street from me, no dice with that either. It's so frustrating.
I'll take a look at course sharing.
